Xia Qi nodded. "Since you have a suitable weapon, then forget it."
He pointed at the bookshelves on the other side and said, "There are all sorts of cultivation methods and martial techniques over there. Do you want to take a look?"
Looking at the rows of bookshelves, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and shook his head. Although the Nine Dragons Empire was a fourth rank faction, the best martial techniques they had were at most Inferior Earth Rank and were extremely rare. Xia Qi would not take them out so easily. Although Superior Profound Rank martial techniques were extremely powerful to ordinary cultivators, they were of little value to Lu Xuan.
"Let's go take a look at the spiritual materials first," Lu Xuan said directly.
Xia Qi understood what Lu Xuan was thinking. He chuckled and said, "It seems that you are very confident in your martial arts and cultivation methods, to think that you are not interested in what I have here. Very well, let's go straight to the spiritual materials. The spiritual materials in my warehouse are all from all over the world, and they are all rare and precious."
The more Xia Qi boasted about his collection, the more tempted Lu Xuan became. Spiritual materials were different from cultivation methods and martial techniques. Spiritual materials were consumables, so rare spiritual materials were even harder to obtain than powerful cultivation methods and martial techniques.
After passing through this hall, Xia Qi led Lu Xuan to another hall. There were many cabinets here, and there were many drawers on each cabinet. Each drawer was covered with an aura-isolating formation to prevent the aura of the spiritual materials from leaking out and causing a conflict. It was obvious that Xia Qi had put in a lot of effort into decorating the treasury.
"There are a lot of materials here, so I won't introduce them one by one. The names of the items are recorded here. Lu Xuan, take a look yourself," Xia Qi said and gestured for Lu Xuan to look for them himself.
Lu Xuan nodded. He wanted to see if there was anything he could use, so he walked to a cabinet and carefully examined the materials stored in it.
Soon, Lu Xuan saw an extremely familiar ore. It was the Fire Leaving Crystal, which contained the power of fire. The Fire Leaving Crystal was an excellent material for refining weapons. A skilled blacksmith could even preserve the characteristics of the Fire Leaving Crystal in a weapon, giving the weapon a special effect.
However, for Lu Xuan, the Fire Leaving Crystal had an even greater use. It could be used to condense Bing Fire Divine Runes.
There were still some Fire Leaving Crystals left in Lu Xuan's storage ring. If he could obtain more Fire Leaving Crystals, Lu Xuan would be able to attempt to condense a Three Star Fire Divine Rune. Once he successfully condensed a Three Star Fire Divine Rune, it would be of great help to Lu Xuan's physique refining strength. The strength of the Golden Blaze Blast would also increase. At this moment, Lu Xuan already had some ideas.
"Your Majesty, is there enough five-elemental ores in the treasury?" Lu Xuan turned to Xia Qi and asked.
Xia Qi was slightly startled. He thought that Lu Xuan was here to look at herbs, but he didn't expect him to be interested in ores. He asked curiously, "Could it be that you know how to refine weapons?"
"I don't know how to refine weapons, but these five-elemental ores have some other uses for me," Lu Xuan answered honestly.
"So that's the case. Since you need them, you can take some. It's fine as long as you don't empty my storage." Xia Qi generously waved his hands. Since these items were of use to Lu Xuan, there was no harm in giving some to him.
Lu Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly clasped his hands, "Then Lu Xuan thanks Your Majesty in advance."
Naturally, he wouldn't empty Xia Qi's treasury. He only needed to obtain some materials that were sufficient for him to condense Divine Runes. Even if he had more, it would be useless.
After which, Lu Xuan unhesitatingly pulled open the drawer containing the Fire Leaving Crystals. A sea of fiery-red ores instantly entered his eyes, and as expected, they were all Fire Leaving Crystals of extreme purity. They were sparkling and translucent, causing those who looked at them to feel dazzled and dazzled. These Fire Leaving Crystals were definitely not the inferior ones, but the purest Fire Leaving Crystals from the depths of the mine. Their effects were far superior to those impurities found in the outer regions of the mine.
Lu Xuan was naturally overjoyed. The purer the Fire Leaving Crystal, the purer the Fire Leaving Crystal would be. Without a doubt, using these Fire Leaving Crystals would greatly increase the success rate of condensing Divine Runes.
Reaching his hand out to grab a handful, Lu Xuan flipped his palm and stored the Fire Leaving Crystals into his storage ring. Feeling too embarrassed to continue, Lu Xuan closed the drawer and began searching for his next target.
Xia Qi indeed had a lot of materials, and Lu Xuan saw quite a few rare and precious materials that were hard to find. However, they were all useless to him, and so he didn't even bother to think about keeping them for himself. Instead, he focused all his attention on the materials that contained the five elements. If he could gather enough materials from Xia Qi, he might just be able to break through to the 3-star level for all five Divine Inscriptions in his body.
A 3 Star Body Refinement Practitioner's strength was comparable to an Origin Realm expert. A 3 Star Body Refinement Practitioner who had condensed all five Divine Runes would be able to reach the late stages of the Origin Realm. If he could master the corresponding Body Refinement Sacred Art, he would be able to battle against a peak-stage Origin Realm expert!
Currently, Lu Xuan only had two Body Refinement Sacred Arts. One was the attack-type Golden Blaze Explosion, while the other was the defensive-type Wall of Thorns. However, after successfully condensing a 3 Star Divine Rune, the increase in his strength would be tremendous. The reason why he was able to fight against opponents of a higher cultivation level was because of the power of the Divine Runes.
Right after that, Lu Xuan found the Rain Dew, the Passionless Bamboo, and the Meteor Secret Gold. The Rain Dew was a spiritual material of the Water Attribute. It was the dew produced by a plant known as the Rain Flower. The flower was extremely peculiar, as it would only produce a single drop of dew in the middle of the month, and the dew would only last for ten breaths of time. If the dew was not taken away within ten breaths of time, it would be absorbed by the plant itself, which was a rather rare find. Xia Qi only had three bottles with him, and Lu Xuan took one of them. It was obvious that Xia Qi was rather pained by the fact that the Rain Dew had a wide range of uses.
The Passionless Bamboo was a wood-attribute spiritual material. The reason why it was called the Passionless Bamboo was because only one stalk of this type of bamboo could grow on every mountain. Even if one planted countless stalks of this type of bamboo, only one stalk would be able to survive in the end. However, it was precisely because it was successfully grown after absorbing countless stalks of Passionless Bamboo that it contained a large amount of wood-attribute essence energy. It was enough for Lu Xuan to extract and condense the Yi Wood Divine Rune.
As for the Meteor Secret Gold, it was even harder to find compared to the previous three materials. This was because there was no fixed production location for the Meteor Secret Gold, and there was no way to cultivate it. It was said that the Meteor Secret Gold was formed when a meteor fell from the sky. Only those who were fated would be able to obtain it. The Meteor Secret Gold in Xia Qi's collection was also a tribute from various places. After all, the Nine Dragons Dynasty was a vast land with abundant resources.
But even though Lu Xuan had gathered all four materials that were sufficient to condense a 3 star Divine Rune, he was still lacking the earth-attribute spiritual material. After looking through all of Xia Qi's collection, he finally found some Quicksand Rock. According to Lu Xuan's estimation, the grade of the Quicksand Rock might be slightly lower. It was still fine to condense a 2 star Fifth Earth Divine Rune, but the success rate of condensing a 3 star Fifth Earth Divine Rune was rather low.
Even so, Lu Xuan still took a portion of it. There was no harm in giving it a try. If he was able to upgrade all five of his Divine Marks to 3 stars, then his battle prowess would undergo an earth-shattering transformation. He would probably be able to match up against experts at the ninth level of the Origin Realm or even the peak of the Origin Realm.
"Lu Xuan, are you done picking?" Xia Qi couldn't help but ask. Looking at Lu Xuan picking five spiritual materials in a row, Xia Qi couldn't help but sweat. The other spiritual materials were still alright, but the Sweet Rain Nectar and Meteor Secret Gold were rather precious. The Sweet Rain Nectar could be used to condense the Aurora Aurora, but the Meteor Secret Gold was priceless.
"Eh … … I'm done." Lu Xuan originally wanted to say that he wanted to take a look, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He instantly changed his words. He should be satisfied that he was able to obtain so many treasures.
"That's good. Now, shall we go look for the herbs?" Xia Qi let out a breath of relief. He had finally satisfied Lu Xuan. It seemed like he couldn't casually bring anyone to show off in the palace treasury.
Searching for the herbs to treat Xia Qi's injuries was the true objective of the two of them. The spiritual materials that Lu Xuan obtained could be said to be an unexpected harvest.
Lu Xuan nodded. He wasn't sure what herbs he needed now. He had to see what Xia Qi had before he could decide what kind of pill to concoct to treat Xia Qi's injuries. Among the pill recipes that he knew, there were a few that could treat Xia Qi, but all of them required extremely rare ingredients.
